A Hamiltonian system is a dynamical system governed by Hamilton's equations.

Description

In physics, this dynamical system describes the evolution of a physical system such as a planetary system or an electron in an electromagnetic field.

These systems can be studied in both Hamiltonian mechanics and dynamical systems theory.
